iMac will only boot in safe mode after ram upgrade
I have a mid 2010 iMac 3.06GHz intel core i3 running Lion 10.7.5. I upgraded my ram from two 2gb chips to two 8Gb chips and now the computer will not boot unless in safe mode. If not in safe mode it will just get stuck on the grey screen with the apple. In safe mode I can check that both chips are recognized (it shows 16 gb of ram in 'about this Mac'). I have used the right specs on the new chips (new ones are g.skill ddr3-1333 pc3-10600/10666 8192MB CL9-9-9 So-Dimm). I have run disk verify (appears to be ok) and repaired permissions. Also reset pram. Any ideas? Much appreciated.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
